1984

Signed by the artist

This pastel on paper deftly captures the mood of night driving. The eerie hypnotic quality that the center road lines take on, the lights of the car ahead, the stark contrast between bright illumination and unfathomable darkness. And just rising over the edge of the overpass, we see the beams of light, and pink glow, from an unidentified aerial craft; a sight witnessed by the artist in 1971 during a drive on the Garden Sate Parkway in New Jersey with her family.

About The Exhibition:

This October Gail Buono brings seven stunning oil paintings to Electra Gallery that are born of her own personal encounter with, yes, flying saucers. In 1971 Gail, along with her family and many members of her community, experienced an extended encounter with multiple "Unidentified Flying Objects" while they were driving along the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey. 1983 Gail began to process the experience through pastel drawings and oil paintings. 40 years later, in the wake of calls for disclosure around the world, Gail has decided it is time to share her experience with the world.
